What everyone needs to realize is HTF was just a good regional crate racing team until 3 years ago and they got their 1st Super motor and now they have brought alot of attention to themselves and to dirt SLM racing through social media. They are still learning how to race SLMs on a National level against the best in the business. Look how long it took Davenport, Madden McCreaddie and all the others to get to the top of their game . Do i think they need Vinny or Rumley as a advisor for awhile ? Yes but give them a break , they are living most of our dreams making a living doing what we all love ❤️

confidence and a positive attitude is a huge part of any competing sport. These guys have all the talent to make a solid showing on any given track and venue. Sounds easy but it's not, keep your heads high, sometimes you have to take 2 steps back to go 3 steps forward. Take a look at all the big names, they all have off periods and typically come back stronger than before. Our failures only make us stronger! Keep digging boyz!!!

U need to get him a larger steering wheel for up here in the midwest or in general. CJ rayburn swore by it. Slow his power steering down or make it stiffer. He has way too much wheel input. A stiffer rack and bigger wheel may help him feel his front tires better. The less he saws on the wheel the more he will feel the front end. Good luck rest of year. People dont realize how tough the competition is in the midwest and especially central IL. There's a reason Bobby pierce and B-shepp are already hall of famers. Growing up racing in this area puts you on kill mode, w/ reflexes like a jungle cat😂.

Because they had kinda stabilized at about 20th, weren't moving forward, and 11th through 26th pays the exact same amount. Those super motors can only get so many laps on them and are expense to rebuild. Also, they still have the rest of the tour to go, and taking a chance at tearing up the car on a tight track that was getting rougher by the second to maybe gain a spot or two for no increase in pay is bad pot odds. If you noticed, another car in their same overall position followed them into the infield, thinking the exact same thing that HTF was. Is it ideal? No, but unfortunately that is the truth about the current payout structure in dirt racing, and most teams have to carefully manage these kinds of risk/reward/costs/payout decisions to keep the wheels rolling. HTF does not have an unlimited budget, or unlimited quality spares, and in this case are 1500 miles away from home on a multi week road trip. They gotta make their somewhat limited resources last these multiple weeks away from home.
